TRIVIA NOTE: The Dr. Kildare character was
created by author Max Brand (under the pen name for Frederick Schiller Faust) in a
series of short stories. Between 1938 and 1947, several movies were made
starring Lew Ayres as Kildare and Lionel Barrymore as Gillespie
(these actors continued their roles in a late 1940s radio network series).

In the early 1970s, the Dr. Kildare franchise was revived as YOUNG DR.

Mark Jenkins as Dr. James Kildare
and
Gary Merrill as Dr. Leonard Gillespie
with Claiborne Cary as Nurse; Norma Crane as Nurse Connors; Joyce Van Patten
